Nine goals were scored in this game at Fraserburgh, of which the home team claimed six. The visitors were full of fight in the first half, showing a good turn of speed and going after the ball with fine spirit.
Ross County opened the scoring in five minutes, Gowl, centre-forward, scoring from close in. From the kick-off Fraserburgh equalised, Crawford, inside-right, driving hard into the corner of the net. Immediately afterwards Fraserburgh took the lead, J. Duthie, left-half, netting from a penalty. A little later County again drew level, Burnett, left back, scoring from a penalty. Four goals in fifteen minutes! Fraserburgh again took the lead through Watt, outside-left.
In the second half Fraserburgh gained the ascendancy, and in five minutes increased their lead, Burnett, outside-right, being the marksman. Five minutes later the homesters went further ahead, J. Duthie scoring a brilliant goal from thirty yards. With twenty minutes to go, G. Bell, centre-forward, brought Fraserburgh's total to six, and close on time County reduced the leeway, Burnett scoring from another penalty.
